Bloody Nose/ Cuts
A. When you get a bloody nose or a cut the best thing to do is put pressure on it. For a nose bleed you can ball up a tissue and stick it in your nose to soak up the blood and change it when needed and after about 5 minutes of it being in your nose it should be done bleeding. For a cut put some neosporion on it and then put a band aid on it.
B. Some things that might indicate if the child needs stitches is excessive skin hanging from the cut and if the cut is bleeding a lot and the cut is fairly deep.

Developing Guidance Skills

Prosocial Guidance:
 When a relative dies unexpectedly and the family is all tore up they need to be close together and show each other affection. You can let the person coupe with the loss in their own ways and then give them comfort when necessary. Then when they have had time you can start to try to cheer them up by doing fun things with them.
Direct Guidance:
When a small child is doing something wrong that you do not like you make sure to match your facial expression with your verbal expressions. If you are mad at them then make sure you face shows that you are not happy. When you reward a child for doing something make sure your facial expression is happy and have a big smile on your face. When you are playing with them make sure you have a smile on your face on appropriate actions and frown or upset face when they do something they are not suppose to.
Indirect Guidance:
When a child is in a classroom and hit another student they know that they will be sent to the principles office and they do not want to go there so they behave. The teachers can monitor all of the kids and make sure they are behaving properly and if they are not then there will be consequences and so they will follow the rules if they will get into trouble for doing bad things.
